J-Link on-board adds Drag & Drop applications programming feature

A J-Link OB with Drag & Drop capability appears both as a debug probe and as a flash drive on the user's computer. The J-Link's performance and functionality for programming and debugging remain unchanged; the additional flash drive capability simplifies programming the target to dragging a Motorola S-record, Intel Hex, or plain binary file onto the J-Link Drive using the desktop.

J-Link Drive enables manufacturers, and third-party software developers, to deploy ready-to-go demonstration applications to customers who can then quickly evaluate the capability of the board, software, and device—all without installing complex development software.

When customers outgrow the convenience of J-Link Drive and fixed demonstration applications, they can use the full potential of the target board using the J-Link OB as a debug probe backed by industry-wide support.

Developed by Segger’s Embedded Experts Team, J-Link OB offers an opportunity for board manufacturers to provide a polished way of delivering integrated solutions to customers, and enhance the experience over time by adding new applications and features that just “drop into place.”
